Rob,
I tried good old hardware store contact glue - pretty useless. So I
went to a auto interior shop - They had THE stuff but it is not sold
retail. So I got the manufacturers address and phoned them I
explained I was restoring a car and they sympathised and sent me a
sample tin which was huge !!! Go visit a shop that sticks on vinyl
roofs on cars. There is special contact glue for autos......
